Abstract

Active mobility is essential for creating sustainable, healthy, and inclusive urban neighborhoods. This article explores how collective spaces in block-system neighborhoods can support active mobility in daily life. It employs a qualitative, structured methodology, combining a refined keyword-based literature review and snowballing technique to identify design principles and related urban strategies. Each strategy builds on established urban design models to ensure theoretical and practical relevance. The study synthesizes the findings into illustrated Active Mobility Cards, offering actionable guidance for planners, designers, and decision makers. Results highlight that when collective spaces prioritize connectivity, safety, comfort, social engagement and inclusivity, they promote walking and cycling, reduce car dependency, and strengthen neighborhood ties. The article concludes that integrating these principles and strategies into neighborhood planning can help transform collective spaces into vibrant, flexible, and resilient environments, advancing public health, social equity, and environmental sustainability, and contributing to more livable communities.
从概念到行动:街区系统城市社区集体空间的主动交通卡
积极的流动性对于创造可持续、健康和包容的城市社区至关重要。本文探讨了街区系统社区中的集体空间如何支持日常生活中的主动流动性。它采用定性的、结构化的方法,结合了基于关键词的文献综述和滚雪球技术来确定设计原则和相关的城市战略。每个策略都建立在既定的城市设计模型上,以确保理论和实践的相关性。该研究将研究结果综合成图解的主动移动卡,为规划者、设计师和决策者提供可操作的指导。研究结果强调,当集体空间优先考虑连通性、安全性、舒适性、社交参与度和包容性时,它们会促进步行和骑自行车,减少对汽车的依赖,并加强邻里关系。文章的结论是,将这些原则和策略整合到社区规划中,可以帮助将集体空间转变为充满活力、灵活和有弹性的环境,促进公共卫生、社会公平和环境可持续性,并为更宜居的社区做出贡献。

期刊介绍: in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
